Humidity in enclosure

[lindseyjordan10]

I got my baby sulcata a new enclosure and put the lights inside. I just need to put his last light inside which is his uvb. After I do that what should I use to cover the top to trap the humidity in? Can i just cover the top with a towel? If i do that, will he be able to breathe?

Anyone??? Please help

Because of the heat from the lights and CHE aluminum foil would be recommended. Yes he will be able to breathe, the opening around the basking light is plenty for fresh air. You are not sealing the aquarium airtight.

If you do cover the top thoroughly, I would monitor the temps inside for a while. With the two basking lights and CHE things may get hot in there quickly.
